Chapter 23

As I make my way through the hospital's hallways, a soft smile covers my lips as I catch myself humming the song "You Are my Sunshine." Since Nick woke up ten days ago, the gray mistI've been living in lifted, and now the sun is back, shining its warm rays into my heart.

I slow down when I notice two nurses standing outside his room. They're talking with each other, and as I come closer, I overhear a part of their conversation.

"God, Rita is the lucky one today. She's in there renewing McSteamy’s bandages. I'm telling you that man's body resembles that of a Greek god. He's scrumptiously fine. Aren't you wondering how well developed he is in other places?" They both giggle.

I grind my teeth, hearing them gushing over my man. But then a grin forms, and with a little cough, I make my presence known to the women. They both jump and turn.

"Excuse me, ladies, I'm here to visit my Greek god." I pass them, and with my hand on the door, I glance over my shoulder and send them a naughty smile. "To answer your question, he is… very well endowed. Have a pleasant workday, girls."

When I slip inside, Nick is sitting on the edge of the bed, his feet dangling above the ground while nurse Rita is flirting with him. She laughs and touches his right biceps and when he speaks she does the hair toss while batting her lashes at him.

"If you need anything, just ask. We're here to help," she coaxes.

I tell myself to stay calm, but when she touches him again, the ugly green-eyed snake rears its head.

"Oh, that won't be necessary. I'm here,” I say, halting beside them. "And I'll make sure Mister Brown has everything he needs." I stare at the nurse while stroking Nick's other arm.

"Of course. I mean—"

"I know what you meant, but as long as I'm here, he will be fine and attended to," I say, crossing my arms in front of my chest. The nurse nods and leaves. Nick chuckles as soon as the door closes.

"Damn, Angel. That was hot."

I place my hands on my hips. "She was eye-fucking you, Nickolas. And the nurses in this place have nicknamed you 'the Greek god.'”

He throws his head back, and a heartfelt, loud laugh rolls through the air. The sound of his laugh awakens tons of butterflies in my stomach.

He snakes an arm around me and pulls me between his open legs. "Come here, you."

I try to stay pissed by avoiding eye contact, but it's hard when I'm this close to his naked chest. I have to bite my lip not to drool when I touch his stomach. They're right. His body resembles that of a Greek god. But damn, he's mine.

"You are cute when you're jealous."

"I wasn't jealous," I mutter under my breath.

"Oh." He lifts my chin and sends me his killer grin of which he knows it makes me weak in the knees and wet in the panties.

"Admit it, Em."

A moan escapes me when he caresses my bottom lip with his finger.

"God, I missed your luscious mouth, Emma. "

"Oh really? Because when I tried to get you to wake up by kissing you and talking dirty, it didn't work."

His pupils dilate, and a sexy smirk sets on his lips. "What did you say to me, Angel?"

I press my lips together. "No, I'm not repeating it."

He grabs my ass, pulls me closer, and nibbles and licks the skin of my neck.

"Tell me."

A hot shiver roams my body, and when he sinks his teeth into my flesh, I capitulate.

"I said; ‘I've been a naughty angel, Nick, and I need you to show me what you do with them. I've got tons of whipped cream waiting for us at home to enjoy, so please wake up.”
